The JD program enrolls one first-year class per year, entering in the fall semester. The Juris Doctor degree is a three-year full time program. However, ASU Law offers a flexible scheduling option for students with circumstances that make full-time enrollment impossible. Each year the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law receives more applications from eligible candidates than can be accommodated. Admission to Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law is competitive.

The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law seeks to enroll a dynamic group of individuals that provides an engaging learning environment. The admission committee makes decisions after considering all the information provided by the applicant. Among the factors influencing the admission decision are LSAT performance, undergraduate grade point average, quality and grading patterns of undergraduate institutions, previous graduate education, demonstrated commitment to public service, work and leadership experience, extracurricular or community activities, history of overcoming economic or other disadvantages, uniqueness of experience and background, maturity, ability to communicate, foreign language proficiency, honors and awards, service in the armed forces, and publications.

The Credential Assembly Service report must be from the current application year.
